Minisode 189: Jimmy + Stiggs (2024)

This week Brian and Steve get abducted into the overstimulation zone with the brand new film by Joe Begos. Jimmy + Stiggs is a full sensory assault of flashing lights, sludge metal, substance abuse, black lights, aliens, splatter, and screaming. Light on story and heavy on the clean up, the film is like having a psychotic break in the back of a Spencer's Gifts at the mall. Also Eli Roth has a new fake funny trailer.  

 

Plus we talk a lot about Larry Fessenden films, our upcoming FessFest, why Snoop Dogg is over, and the evil of KFC jellybeans.

Minisode 188: The Whisperer in Darkness (2011)

This week Brian and Steve discover the period imperfect adaptation of the H.P. Lovecraft novella The Whisperer in Darkness. Produced by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society and presented in Mythoscope. Full of clever production to invoke the spirit of 1930s Golden Age Cinema. The story is a mostly faithful telling of an academic investigating the strange goings on in rural New England. Then again, what Lovecraft story isn't about that? Surely, the 

 

Plus we announce what our upcoming March Showdown is and what Nic Cage is up to.

Minisode 187: S. Darko (2009)

One hour; forty-three minutes; nine seconds. That's when the movie will end. Unless, you shut this boring, money grabbing, direct-to-video sequel off earlier. This week Kellie from the Final Girls brings Brian and Steve a punishment film direct from the clearance rack of Hot Topic. Did you ever wonder what it would be like to strip all the music, acting and mystery from Donnie Darko? Why would you wonder that? Are you okay? Find out anyway with S. Darko.

Minisode 186: Brainscan (1994)

It's the 1990s. Every piece of media not part of ABC T.G.I.F. is a portal for the Devil. No one understands the Internet. Or video games. Your mission is to write a screenplay about an Internet video game that hypnotizes its victim into believing they're and murderer. You've just read the synopsis for the Making of Brainscan: The Game. A confusing and not terribly good film, Brainscan combines tropes from kids' films with Christian moral panic and screeching industrial metal.

Plus we talk about 90s beer and the many deaths of Eddie Furlong.

Minisode 185: Home Sweet Home Rebirth (2025)

It's a punishment week, and unlike last month, Brian hates it. The movie is a based off the Thai Home Sweet Home video game. Much like every other video game movie, heavy liberties are taken resulting in unrecognizable swill. On top of that, the film feels like a some type of scam. White guys went to Thailand "to make a film." The results we're a possibly AI written script, non-actors acting in not their first or even second language, possible AI visual effects, and a stunning lack of anything interesting.  

 

Plus we talk February Showdown topic poll, Chipotle slop bowls, the end of craft beer and more.

Brain Damage (1988)

vs

C.H.U.D. (1984)

vs

Tremors (1990)

 

Will Brian be whistling Aylmer's Tune, or is his brain about to bust? Are the patrons going to Stern-ly punish the hosts, or are they a buncha chuds? Is Steve going to keep hanging the championship in his rec room, or are his hopes about to be dug out from underneath him?

Minisode 184: The Suckling (1990)

Starting off 2026 with an aborted, mutant baby new year is definitely a choice. One Brian and Steve gladly make to talk about a real New York classic. Clearly inspired by the schlock coming from Troma and Frank Henenlotter at the time, The Suckling tackles women's rights and autonomy with the same deft tact as yelling slurs outside of Planned Parenthood. Full of non-actors who would go on to nothing, and an FX crew who would find long Hollywood careers. Pairs nicely with Doom Asylum and Mutant Hunt.

Minisode 183: Treevenge (2008) and Christmas of the Dead (2025)

It's still the holiday break and therefore we're still talking holiday horror. This week Steve is joined by his former Hop Nation USA cohost Adam, so Steve can once again make normie watch extreme splatter horror. This time it's horror shorts. First, the 2008 evergreen-sploitation film Treevenge from the director of Hobo with a Shotgun and stars of The Trailer Park Boys. Then it's a brand new zombie gamer fest from Sweden with references to Doom, Dead Alive and Shaun of the Dead.

 

Plus talk about how cool Reacher is and possible OSCAR winners.
